Silicon carbide (SiC) is not found in any appreciable quantities in nature but is one of the most widely used synthetic technical minerals. The market for SiC focuses on its hardness and refractoriness, but SiC is also used as a source of silicon in the metallurgical processing of iron. SiC's hardness and high-temperature stability make it as widely used as alumina as an abrasive grain. For higher-performance applications, the higher-purity (green) SiC powder is used, and for lesser requirements the lower-purity (black) SiC powder is used. For advanced ceramic applications such as armor, only the high-purity green materials are used. Other applications of high-purity SiC include space-based mirrors, semiconductor processing equipment, wire-impregnated saws for silicon wafer cutting, and automobile catalysts. These markets have driven the world supply of green SiC to more than 1 million tons per year. Armor ceramics make up less than 1 percent of the world market for high-purity SiC.7
There are many methods for producing SiC, including carbothermic reduction of silica, chemical vapor-phase reactions, and electrothermal techniques. The Acheson process, which dates from 1893, places electrodes into a graphite core laid within a mixture of reactant carbon, salt, and sand. The electric current resistively heats the graphite and in turn the surrounding reactants, resulting in the formation of a hollow cylinder of SiC and the evolution of carbon monoxide (CO) gas.8 The chemical reaction that Acheson described for the manufacture of SiC from silica sand and carbon is as follows:
SiO2 + 3C → SiC + 2CO
Within the ceramic-grade zone, both green SiC (>99 percent SiC) and black SiC (95-98 percent SiC) can be found, with metallurgical SiC (80-94 percent SiC) making up the remainder of the reaction zone. The boundary between unreacted materials and the reaction zone is marked by a layer of condensed impurities. This layer is discarded, but the unreacted precursors can be used again.
The formation of SiC is the result of four subreactions, each of which provides vapor-phase mass transport:9
C + SiO2 → SiO(g) + CO(g)
SiO2 + CO(g) → SiO + CO2(g)
C + CO2(g) → 2CO(g)
2C + SiO→ SiC + CO(g)
The exact kinetics of the reaction are highly dependent on carbon source, particle size, mixing uniformity, and packing of the silica and the carbon. During the heating of the graphite core, silica can react with carbon at temperatures as low as 1527°C to create b-SiC. At temperatures about 1900°C, the b-SiC converts to α-SiC. The various polytypes formed are dependent not only on temperature but also on the presence of impurities. For example, for α-SiC the 6H polytype is most prevalent. However, in the presence of aluminum, either intentionally or as an impurity, the 4H polytype becomes dominant. This change in polytype alters not only the shape of the resultant particles but also the microhardness, with the 4H being less hard.10
Today's Acheson furnaces are very large. The first commercial furnace was 2 meters long and had a power input rate of 58 kW; today the largest furnace has a 240-ton capacity and a power input rate of nearly 6 MW! Aside from SiC processing being a tremendous consumer of electricity, for every pound of SiC produced, 1.4 pounds of CO are emitted. Both electricity costs and environmental concerns shifted the manufacturing of powder offshore to the extent that today, the United States accounts for less than 5 percent of the world's production of SiC, whereas China accounts for more than 60 percent. However, that 5 percent produced in the United States supplies the abrasives and metallurgical markets, meaning that there was no supplier in 2010 providing SiC for advanced ceramics, including armor.
Work by Choi et al.11 indicated that SiC sintered with AlN and oxide additives could have a marked effect on the mechanical properties of the resulting SiC. Zhou et al.12showed the strong influence of rare-earth additions and resulting intergranular properties on the mechanical properties of SiC. Thus a better understanding of the role of intergranular phases could be used to engineer high-performance armor materials.
Worldwide, 1,000 to 2,000 metric tons of boron carbide are produced annually. The boron carbide market is driven by the use of boron carbide based on selected properties, such as its hardness—for example, as an abrasive grit or powder; its neutron absorption capacity (for use as control rods and shielding in pressurized water nuclear reactors, among other applications); and its specific hardness—as an armor

Hi I was thinking of sending some relatives some of my beer, the problem I have is that my beer is kegged. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to send beer that's in a keg. I have no problem of xferring to bottles, except what would that do to the flavor/carbonation? Clayton Clark
To successfully/consistently bottle kegged beer, you need a counterpressure filler or beer gun. Blichmann Engineering's beer gun is pretty good - runs about $60.
You can bottle with nothing more than a party tap, but you will have to add a carb drop to make up the lost CO2. Burp the keg and use as low a pressure (1-2 psi) as you can. It won't change the flavor. You can ship a cornie, but unless they have their own equipment, you'll have to send a party tap a CO2 charger & bottles. This gets expensive fast.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk

Your Guide to Marine Insurance
Your boat is an important purchase in terms of both the financial outlay and lifestyle value. Whether it's a $15,000 tinnie or a $200,000 racing yacht, your investment needs to be protected from theft and damage or a mishap that injures yourself or another person - if for nothing else but piece of mind.
Boat insurance is a necessary evil that all boaties hope they'll never need. But it's not just loss and damage to your craft that's of concern, but ever-increasing risk of theft.
The day started out innocently enough. In fact, the two brothers couldn't have picked better weather for a leisurely cruise to Sydney Harbour. They set off in high spirits from Pittwater to watch the Olympic Closing Ceremony. They had their wives and children with them.
The sea was calm and the sky was perfectly clear. Not that a weather change would worry this gamefishing boat. It was equipped with everything one needs to ride out a storm: long-range communications, radars and satellite navigation, giant fuel tanks, and more.
Astern of the gameboat was another smaller cruiser also bound for Sydney. Someone on the small cruiser noticed a trail of smoke emanating from the air intakes or exhausts of the gameboat up ahead. As they say, where there is smoke there is fire.
As quick as that, the skipper lost his HF radio, then his engine gauges followed by all other electronics. A crewman opened the hatch to the engineroom and was enveloped by smoke. Someone grabbed the lifejacket on the bridge and put the wives and children in the back of the boat.
They were forced to abandoned ship and were, luckily, picked up by the boat following astern. Within minutes the luxury game-boat had burnt to the waterline. It sank like a lead balloon.
With that boat went the dreams of a couple of keen anglers who had set their sights on cruising to Cairns, fishing for giant marlin, and partaking in the tournament circuit off Sydney over the coming gamefishing season.
Luckily, no lives were lost. Fortunately, the boat owners can take some solace from the fact they haven't exactly lost everything. After all, their boat and fishing gear was insured. But far from that being the case for many other Australian boaties.
While it is true that behind every boat insurance claim is a grim story, it is also true that behind every uninsured boat is an even more gloomy story waiting to happen. If you must, think of boat insurance as a necessary evil. It is money spent in case something terrible should happen, insurance against losing an asset and, in the worse case scenario, being sent bankrupt through a law suit.
Boat insurance is something you never wish to use. But at same time, should something terrible happen, insurance brings peace of mind. Just about everyone with a boat should have it insured these days. The only exceptions are canoes and tiny tenders, though operators might like to consider that third-party liability is also a growing issue in this increasingly litigious society.
The country's largest marine insurer, Club Marine, says there is a vast number of boats not insured. A lot of boats are also under and over insured. Most that are covered are insured for market value, though you can also go for an agreed-value policy. The latter may well be more appropriate for a classic boat, custom, or one-off craft.
But whatever you have, boats of all shapes and sizes seem to be the target of unprecedented levels of theft these days. In fact, theft of equipment from boats in Sydney is downright outrageous. Most claims for theft come from Sydney, the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Because personal watercraft are especially hot property, many insurers have special conditions applying to PWCs.
Insurance premiums
Of course, insurance premiums vary depending on where you store your boat, its intended use, the construction, and the type of vessel. Some insurers have provision for no-claim bonuses up to 25%. Along with that, Club Marine offers discounts up to 60% while your boat is laid-up.
Among the things a good marine policy will cover you for are: loss or damage if your boat sinks, breaks adrift or is stranded while left unattended off an exposed shore, cover up to 200 nautical miles offshore and beyond should you need it, and cover if you are towing interstate.
Some companies will not insure your boat if it is moored in certain areas. For example, Little Manly Beach in Sydney is a lee shore that is dreadfully exposed to southerly winds. Because so many boats end up washed ashore here, some insurers refuse to cover those boats moored in the bay.
In other instances, there are loadings on your premiums for things such as yacht racing or waterskiing. While on the subject, waterskiers or yacht racers might like to consider taking out extra third-party coverage.
Loss of gear
Better insurers will also cover for loss of fishing gear and theft of waterski equipment. Many of those partaking in the Sydney-to-Hobart yacht race will have to have extra premiums in light of the tragedy which befell the fleet in the 1999 race.
Club Marine also covers for overheating of motors caused by external blocking of the cooling system. It has a new-for-old policy on mechanical and electrical components on the motor up to five years of age, and a facility for pay by the month direct debit and online applications.
It is difficult to generalise about boat insurance because every boat has to be considered on a case-by-case basis. Having said that there is one firm rule to follow: don¹t be penny wise and palm foolish. Spend those few extra dollars insuring your pride and joy.
After all, everyone thinks a boating accident will never happen to them. But then everyone knows someone for whom a boating accident has befallen them. Like the lucky anglers I know who escaped the aforementioned sinking. At least they were insured.

The Chevy HHR Panel is perfect for your local neighborhood handy man. But if you need to haul anything more than a few toolboxes on a regular basis, the HHR probably won't be big enough for you. Like Amy, I noticed the rear doors don't have exterior handles; however, there are two buttons on the dash to the left of the steering wheel that allow you to pop each door open without having to crawl through the vehicle and all over your precious cargo. The HHR's slick paneled sides provide ample room for whatever aftermarket logo your heart desires. So now your car can truly match your tattoo.
Keeping your cargo in one place is a challenge since the HHR's hard plastic floor allows even the lightest of objects to slide around like they're on ice. You certainly have to use a tie-down strap for heavy items, or you wouldn't want to be in the front seats when the driver hits the brakes hard. The main benefit to the plastic floor is that once you arrive at your destination, you can easily wipe up whatever spilled on the way.

Baldwin on same-sex marriage: 'people's views are changing'
Washington, D.C. -- Senate Democrat Tammy Baldwin, who will attend Wednesday's Supreme Court arguments on the Defense of Marriage Act, said this week's two high court cases dealing with same-sex marriage will "decide whether gay American citizens can continue to be discriminated against simply because of who they love." »Read Full Blog Post

My views havent changed...I dont get a rip who does what with who..What I do give a rip is that our elected officials are addressing issues that are low priority. Wanna see views really change? Stop the spending...fix the economy and then people will be sign up for the feel good legislation
'bout time we heard from our Senator.
You're damn right.
Thanks Ryan....funny stuff!
"You're damn right."
Damn....you just gave me the shivers with that......UGH !
"...decide whether gay American citizens can continue to be discriminated against..."
Proving once again that Baldwin is an embarrassment of epic proportions for the state of Wisconsin.
We finally recovered from the Feingold disaster and now we have the Baldwin disaster....egad...-
embarrassment? have you listened to our other senator lately? Now that guy is an embarrassment. At least with Tammi you don't have to cringe when she opens her mouth.
Actually, I do cringe every time Tammi opens her mouth. It has a lot to do with her inability to speak proper English.
she just gives me the shivers, Yauk!
The other senator is infinitely smarter, and more accomplished, than you.
@Ryanln2016 Yes...he was smart. Find a rich woman, marry her and take over the family business when her father dies. That IS really smart.
"Find a rich woman, marry her and take over the family business when her father dies. That IS really smart."
Why did you bring John "Ketchup" Kerry into this conversation ???? -
And it's not what he did. His wife's father was his first customer, he did not take over his business. The RoJoDS patients can't get anything right.
Gods view is the only one that matters, not "peoples" in this case.
There is no God. Now what? Make an adult decision not based on your fear of cooties.
It's a little more tricky than that. This country was founded on the belief of God. Our founding fathers, like it or not, were not atheists. Therefore, like it or not, many laws had their foundation in God.
So your view that "Gods view is the only one that matters" does not matter.
Sorry, fenderguy - you need to go back to school.
The Constitution never once mentions a deity, because the Founding Fathers wanted to keep their new country "religion-neutral." Our Founding Fathers were an eclectic collection of Atheists, Deists, Christians, Freemasons and Agnostics.
George Washington, the Father of our country, and John Adams (Second President of the USA) CLEARLY stated in the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli: "The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion"
Thomas Jefferson, who sat down and authored The Declaration of Independence, rarely missed an opportunity to laugh at Christianity. In a letter to John Adams in 1823, he wrote: "The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus…will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."
http://www.scribd.com/doc/26169/Top-5-myths-about-america -
Hey Comments, walk around Washington D.C. and look around. Almost all of the monuments AND buildings have some sort of religious meaning on them.
This has nothing to do with God. As far as the government is concerned, Marriage is simply a legal contract between two people.
Correct, unless they force churches to marry gays, which I don't believe anyone is suggesting.
Actually your definition is incorrect, at the present moment in time it is not simply a contract between two people, it is a contract between a man and women in most states.
If you can attempt to force a religious organization to bend on healthcare issues, marriage wont be far behind. The attempt was not successful this time, but it will surely be tried again. Religion, and specifically Catholics are under attack both by the govt and the media.
Does anyone have the statistical data on the sucess/failure rate of same sex relationships? I know this is relatively new, as pointed out by the supreme court, but this data would be very interesting to know.
While I am not opposed to gay marriage, her comment is off base. Gay Americans are not discriminated against. It is equally illegal in most states for two straight women to marry each other. It is also perfectly legal for a gay man to marry a gay woman.
That sounds like an argument a layer would make in court, not an argument a reasonable person would make in an honest conversation.
I don't agree with that, either. What if you're a polygamist? Are you discriminated against?
Your comment is wildly off base. I don't mind though. Please, keep making it...Your a republican (or a conservative, or whatever else you come up with to fool people of your ignorant views) and the country IS changing. I'm just waiting for you to bring up marring an animal to make me really laugh and make you look even more like you belong back in 1950!
Just as its perfectly legal for you to feign valid legal insight anonymously on the internet.
There are good legal reason why the government should only accept one legal marriage for a person at any given time (tax and insurance implications), but there is no reason the government should stop you from having multiple church marriages if that is what you believe in. You only get the legal benefits from one though.
I'm not sure you two horses rear ends even read what I wrote. You made a lot of assumptions based solely on my moniker. There was absolutely nothing "ignorant" in what I wrote and I would bet my house I have more years of post graduate education than you do, so stuff it.
What is ignorant is saying gay people are not discriminated against.
They are.
They are not allowed to make legal decisions for their partners because they don't have that piece of paper.
They are unable to automatically receive their partner's estate in the case of a death, because they cannot get that piece of paper.
And they are targeted for harassment and hate crimes, simply because they are gay.
You cannot refute those facts. -
I did not say that. You people have to learn to read more carefully. What I stated was that limiting marriage to one man, one woman, is not, in itself, discrimination against gay people. Again, I am not opposed to gay marriage, I just prefer my senators to be making factual statements.
BTW: There is nothing in what you posted that is not common knowledge or even remotely insightful.
CommentsToday :
What you have written is factually incorrect,
1. the piece of pater could just as easily be a power of attorney, if decisions are what you want to make.
2. A properly executed will, would take care of that issue.
3. If you disagree with the gay marriage issue, you are also targeted for harassment and have at times been subject to what could legally be described as a hate crime by the more militant branches of the LGBT and Gladd community as well as their supporters.
It's not discrimination, it's a definition, and why do we need to redefine a word that has been in play for a thousand years. The Union of two heterosexual people is a marriage, the union of two same sex people is a "civil union" or whatever term you want to coin.
Why should society be forced to redefine words, by individual/group desires. -
Ryan is an over-educated ELITIST!
Tammy is that you? Didn't think I'd hear from you again!
I believe this is the first we've heard from her since she became the first openly gay woman to take the oath of a US Senator.
This was meant to be a response to fenderguy's comment at 2:17.
Probably because she's working and not making ridiculous comments like Johnson.
Peoples changing views?; and thats some people, doesnt ligitimize it. We can guess who those folks are. I am not obligated to accept their beliefs, and vice versa. The states should be free to legislate, which most have, what their citizens approve in vote. In this case marriage is between a man and a woman. The supremes cant change my mind no matter what they decide or what ever the Gay Semator orates.
Don't accept it.
But who are you to say they cannot marry?
People said the same thing about giving women the right to vote.
Or African Americans to vote.
Or mixed race couples to marry.
But those view changes are OK in your mind, right? -
Two words......civil unions.
What is "ligitimize?"
It seems that those that espouse to states rights seem to be the one's left on the wrong side of history.

Fifteen years ago, "Suddenly" from "Les Miserables" would have been the clear frontrunner for Best Original Song at the Oscars. It's a sentimental ballad, written for a prestigious musical by its original composers, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, and Herbert Kretzmer. And it's the only nominee from a film entirely driven by music. So why are most of our experts betting on pop superstar Adele?
Once upon a time, a classy love theme or a crossover Disney ballad were music to the Academy's ears, but the same rules don't apply anymore. Looking back, 1999 may have been the tipping point. That was the year Phil Collins won for "You'll Be in My Heart" from "Tarzan," a typically safe choice for conservative Oscar voters, but it met with widespread criticism because of the songs it beat, including indie songwriter Aimee Mann's "Save Me" from "Magnolia," and the audacious "Blame Canada" from "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut." That award came to symbolize how out-of-touch the Academy was with popular modern tastes.
Perhaps Oscar voters aren't overly concerned with looking cool; given the choice, they usually opt for a warm, feel-good "King's Speech" over a young, upstart "Social Network." However, there was a perceptible paradigm shift in the race for Best Song; in fact, the very next winner in the category was Bob Dylan's "Things Have Changed" (from "Wonder Boys"), a title that fittingly describes the next decade of music honorees.
In 2002, Eminem won for his "8 Mile" rap anthem "Lose Yourself," defeating, among others, "I Move On," an original song written for the Best Picture-winning musical "Chicago." In 2004, the Spanish-language "Al otro lado del rio" (from "The Motorcycle Diaries") upset "Phantom of the Opera's" "Learn to Be Lonely."
Then, in 2005 Oscar picked a winner that would have seemed impossible any earlier: "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" by the group Three 6 Mafia from "Hustle & Flow." It was the second rap song in four years to win an Oscar; compare that to the Grammys where no rap song has ever won Record or Song of the Year. In just a few years, the conservative Academy was starting to seem downright radical.
That was followed by rock star Melissa Etheridge's environmentalist anthem "I Need to Wake Up" from the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," which beat a trio of new songs from "Dreamgirls" in 2006.
In 2007, "Falling Slowly," from the acclaimed indie musical "Once," prevailed against three songs from Disney's "Enchanted" co-written by Oscar darling Alan Menken. Disney also lost the next two races, with "Down to Earth" ("WALL-E") falling to the Bollywood-style hit "Jai Ho" ("Slumdog Millionaire") in 2008 and a pair of Randy Newman songs from "The Princess and the Frog" losing to hit-maker T-Bone Burnett's "The Weary Kind" ("Crazy Heart") in 2009.
Disney won the next two races: in 2010, for Newman's old-fashioned "We Belong Together" from "Toy Story 3," but then in 2011 for Bret McKenzie's unusual, tongue-in-cheek "Man or Muppet" from "The Muppets," which was the very first Oscar awarded to a Muppet movie.
So it's no wonder experts are betting on Adele for her theme from the James Bond film "Skyfall," even though only three other Bond tunes have ever been nominated and none have won. It turned out to be pretty easy out here for a "Pimp," so it might be a cakewalk for a universally loved chart-topper like Adele. And, lucky for her, Phil Collins is nowhere in sight.

International Edition
5@5 is a daily, food-related list from chefs, writers, political pundits, musicians, actors, and all manner of opinionated people from around the globe.
As fall turns into winter, the produce aisle tends to mimic the slate gray sky - everything's a bit darker, duller and more somber. Knotted parsnips take over where crisp, red radishes once sat; tart cranberries replace sweet strawberries.
Yet, despite the season's best efforts, squash shines even brighter this time of year in a cornucopia of shapes, sizes and colors.
Justin Woodward of Castagna Restaurant in Portland, Oregon, wants to quash your notions of the winter doldrums. Behold the squash.
Five Fall Squashes Worth Trying: Justin Woodward
1. Musquee de Provence This squash is a French heirloom variety that I love to use at the restaurant. We keep a few of them in the dining room as decoration because they are gorgeous.
I like to use this squash very fresh, unlike a lot of the other squashes that are typically stored for a few weeks or even months. The flesh of these is incredibly moist when first harvested and the color is unlike any other squash you have ever seen.
I really like juicing the flesh and using the juice like paint on plates. The flesh, when young, is a little stringy. If you plan on roasting these to eat plainly, I would advise on using a more mature Musquee de Provence.
2. Galeux d' Eysines This wart-covered gourd is also decorating our dining room. The warts are caused by all the sugar under the skin of the flesh. It's another French variety, but very different from the Musquee de Provence. The flesh is fine-textured with a medium density - like a softer sweet potato.
This guy is great when roasted. Moist and soft, but not wet and mushy. This one is easy to enjoy: cut it into pieces or just roast it whole. It's also great for pies or purées too. The meat is easy to cut up into pieces and they stand up to pretty much any cooking technique.
It has a great depth of flavor - sweet, dense and rich. It's a good all-purpose squash with a medium water content and a really nice, textured flesh that stands up to roasting well.
3. Boston Marrow A squash with a rich history. If I am going to make a pie filling or custard, I will grab one of these guys. The Boston Marrow is a Slow Food Ark of Taste variety, so eating one is good for the world. (All the foods in the Ark of Taste international catalog are in danger of extinction.)
Per Slow Food USA: "This lovely, mid-size winter squash has a custard-like, buttery flavor with almost 200 years of documented history, though possibly of prehistoric origin. It reaches maturity in 90 to 100 days and has striking, reddish orange skin and an average weight of 10 to 20 pounds, though it can be larger in optimal growing conditions."
The skin is very thin and easily peeled away; again great for pie filling, custard or ice cream because it is just dense enough but has a good body and consistency. It's easy to work with and yields a good amount of meat. A noble squash!
4. Kabocha A Japanese variety, the kabocha is a relatively small gourd and the meat is very dense and dry. I like to use the kabocha as a purée, especially when you need a thick purée. It's perfect for raviolis or agnolotti, as the purée will not burst out. It's also a great substitute for mashed potatoes. I like to serve kabocha puréed with mascarpone alongside braised short ribs and a big red wine.
The best bet for these is to roast them whole, let them cool down a bit, peel and seed then purée. The skin is very thick and the flesh is so dense that cutting up one of these raw can be dangerous, so it's much easier to just roast it whole. Plus, they are small enough that roasting one whole is not a huge investment of time, space or cost.
Traditionally, these are tempura-battered and fried. Look for one that is heavy for its size with soft skin. A light kabocha with tough skin may have lost too much water.
5. Pennsylvania Dutch crookneck butternut Butternuts are the most commonly seen squash. This is because they are easy to grow, yield a great deal of meat and the seed pocket is so small. They are a great all-around squash and most recipes that call for winter squash will work out with a butternut.
Where the butternut misses the mark is in the flavor department. Most supermarket butternuts do not taste like anything. The Pennsylvania Dutch crookneck is the best tasting butternut. Also, the super long neck means you can cut nice rounds or other shapes when uniformity is an issue.
The meat is sweet, nutty and bright orange. These keep well, and they look super cool too.
Squash Quick Bread This recipe for a squash quick bread is very simple and can be put together in less than 5 minutes as long as the squash purée is made ahead.

I am new to Florida and Palm trees. My Sylvester Palm is having problems. I have researched online and believed it was due to cold damage due to the tough winter. I followed the recommendations and sprayed with copper fungicide at 10 days apart. I am beginning to worry there is something else going on. Any help would be appreciated. I have posted a pics. |

To me that looks like either cold damage, sun damage or under watering. How do the newer leaves look? |

I had 3 (decent size) last year and only one survived. All were planted in the ground, same location as other hostas. This is the only hosta that does not survive our winter this year. How is your Rainforest Sunrise doing? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Interesting, I just commented on "Hostas kicked to the curb" thread, that I threw mine out. It wasn't very tolerant of conditions. It threw out new leaves (which it needed because of spring desication), but then the new leaves wold suffer some setback. Its beautiful in some peoples photos but not the best IMHO. Beverly |
Strange. Some hostas are just touchy, but I have never thought of Rainforest Sunrise as one of them. Did you happen to dig around and see what was happening under ground? Was the crown mushy? Any roots? etc. Today I divided mine. It was crowded in a 3 gal pot so I made a couple 1 gal ones. A few weeks ago I cut off an all green sport and that is when I noticed that it was getting pot bound. -Babka |
When I first got mine it did great, it liked where I had planted it and got really pretty. Then I had to move it not once not twice but thrice. It definitely did not like having to be moved all the time and by last spring it was looking pretty sad. I thought for sure I wouldn't see it come back up this year, but I did my rounds today to see what all was up and RS has at least two pips coming up. It was tiny and pathetic last year so it'll be interesting to see if it improved in its new and hopefully more stable home. Karen |

Thank you all for the info. Last year they were doing well and I like the color and texture and somehow slugs did not touch them. I will be patient for a few more days to see if something comes up now that we have a couple of warm days. If nothing shows up, I will try to investigate of there are tree roots problems as Babka suggested. Thanks again |
Not just tree roots...out here we get wireworm larva that eat into the crowns. I don't know if you have anything like that, but it isn't always trees or voles. You need to excavate and see whatchu got undreground. -Babka |
it is the evil twin of great expectations! A lovely plant that thrives .. until winter. I lost several myself and had one that made it. Of course, it was a tough winter ... dave PS . now don't get me wrong, RS has a lot of great things going for it. It is lovely and looks great in the garden. Its just that I've had probs with it overwintering. |

Bragu- I must disagree here. GE is my nemesis. I grow it as a biennial. Rainforest Sunrise has been with me since 2008. YMMV. -Babka |
Are all of your hostas showing pips already? At a minimum, 40% of my hostas are still sleeping or barely peeking out of the ground right now here in Western Michigan (Zone 5B). My Rainforest Sunrise is barely a half an inch out of the ground right now. I did loose Tropical Storm after it's first year though. Gesila |
As of today, thank goodness, 100% of my hostas are up. I was worried (see my other post) about Gypsy Rose, but it pipped today. My Rainforest Sunrise pipped about a week ago and is showing some sturdy-looking pips sticking up. Remember Me is banana yellow and bright green, just as gorgeous as can be now, about 4" up out of the ground. |

My RS is just a baby, obtained last Sept. But it did make it through the winter. This was a week or so ago and already is much larger. Must have found the right spot. It's mostly shaded, and perhaps getting some protection from our hot tub which is about 5 feet away. |
- Posted by vivian_2010 IL 5A (My Page) on Sun, May 4, 14 at 11:14
I had to smile about the phase "evil twins". I had no issues with Great Expectations. I have 2 (rescued from the nursery at the end of season as babies) and they have grown well for the last 3 years, every year the eye count increases and the texture and leaf shape and color are absolutely the best (in my opinion). RS on the other hand seems to be less reliable for me. I actually lost one 2 years ago so I got more last year. I will wait for a few more days. All of my hostas have pipped out except 2 on the north side of house (El Nino and First Frost). I am hopeful at least one of the RS will survive. Babka, I will check for other damages if I can locate the roots. Thanks for the info. Vivian |

My Rainforest Sunrise is doing quite well. It is another late riser,which spared it from the freeze. Never had any trouble with it in the past;very cupped in my garden,and not directly under a tree.so.it doesn't collect debris. Phil |
- Posted by vivian_2010 IL 5A (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 16:55
Update for Rainforest Sunrise: My 2nd one did come back, with a few pips just emerging last week, ~ 4 weeks behind the 1st one (receive a little more sun light). I am quite happy now that they both survived the harsh winter. Vivian |
- Posted by vivian_2010 IL 5A (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 16:58
Sorry I missed the 3rd one (you see I really like this hosta). It also showed up ~ 2 weeks ago. So now all 3 of my Rainforest Sunrise survived. Vivian |
- Posted by josephines67 5 ON (My Page) on Sun, May 18, 14 at 17:27
I lost my new RF over the winter as well. It was a bagged hosta obtained through a nursery, had very healthy root system, also had a second flush of leaves last year. It just rotted during the winter, poor thing. I'll try another though as it is a HOTY. :-) |

How many other cars does it take to kill a Volvo?
We all know how safe Volvo cars are, but a European junkyard has decided to put it to the test by crashing, jumping and rolling the life out of an 850 wagon. While government tests use automated systems to crash new cars, the guys in this video do so with a driver behind the wheel. Aside from what looks like a safety harness and roll bar for the driver, it seems like this car is otherwise bone stock.
Not wanting to spoil the fun for you, we'll just point out that at the start of the video, our hero car looks pretty flawless, and by the end, well, let's just say the Craigslist ad for the car would say "needs some body work."
Check out the video below to watch some stunts that even the Duke Boys might shy away from.

I have a concrete aeration system connected to a leach field that the aerator has not worked in five years. A developer is installing city sewer behind my house about 300 ft away uphill. I want to connect to that main with a force main. My question is can I put an effluent pump in the last compartment of the tank or must I put in another tank or no tank and a grinder pump? |

If you are going to be hooking to a city or county sewer system then they will usually have specs in their building codes as to what they will allow. |

The Rise of Real Brand Identity
Posted on February 26th 2012
"Simply put, a brand is a promise… it delivers a pledge of satisfaction and quality."
– Walter Landor
"A brand is the sum total of the entire customer experience. A collection of perceptions in the mind of the consumer."
– Mark Burgess, Blue Focus Marketing
The brand experience used to be defined in carefully controlled consumer experiences and company messaging. Advertisements and press releases are still crafted to convey the right brand image, but what does this really mean today? The rise of social media has exposed those companies who don't live up to their promises. If your brand isn't backed up by real experiences, it will quickly be demolished.
Before the social age, companies' images were largely untouchable, save their product quality and any huge PR disaster. But the reciprocal relationships in spaces like Facebook and Twitter have exposed brands for their real behavior. This has had a positive impact on the growing importance of Corporate Social Responsibility. How companies behave beyond their transactions is important. Are they trading ethically? Do they watch their carbon-footprints? Businesses need to be good to the core to maintain a positive brand reputation. It's not just the best marketers who can create brand power, but the best products, service and conduct.
Customer service in particular risks damaging a company's public face more than ever. No longer the experience of isolated customers, the collective experience of your customers is now being shared, discussed and on display to the world. Social media speeds up the word of mouth process that could gradually erode your brand image over time – a bad experience that would have spread just between friends can now be distributed to millions in just minutes. On the flip side good customer service is no longer just a cost – it also benefits and affirms your brand to other customers. What your customers say about you has greater power than what you say about yourselves. Establishing your customer satisfaction by asking customers if they'd recommend you or not, as in the Net Promoter Score, is hypothetical. But in social media, when a customer shares a positive experience, or complains publicly about a negative one, promotion and detraction are happening for real.
Unfortunately for most companies, their brands are suffering because they just can't keep up. Every customer service issue in Twitter you ignore; every time you make claims that can't be backed up; every time you try and shore up your image by deleting negative comments, you are chipping away at your brand value. Brand is no longer what you say – it's what you do, and what your customers say about you.

Steel maker Nucor Corporation ( NUE ) entered into a deal with Canada's largest natural gas producer Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. to develop onshore natural gas drilling program in the continental U.S. Nucor believes that the drilling program will provide a reliable, low-cost supply of fuel for more than 20 years. Per the agreement, Nucor will share its part of costs and will also shell out an additional amount for the drilling. The agreement also has an option where either of the companies may suspend drilling if the price of natural gas falls below a predetermined threshold. Encana will provide expertise for drilling and operating the wells. The agreement will establish a reliable gas supply for the direct reduced iron facility, which is currently under construction in Convent, Louisiana where iron ore is turned into a concentrate. The facility is expected to come online in mid 2013 and is expected to increase Nucor's usage of natural gas. The recent deal is an extension of the existing agreement between Nucor and Encana that was signed in 2010. As per Nucor, the deal can provide enough natural gas to offset the fuel that is used at its U.S. mills and two gas-intensive direct reduced iron facilities. Nucor believes that the deal will improve its competitive position and will be beneficial for both the companies.
Last month, Nucor released its third quarter 2012 results. The company reported adjusted (excluding special items) earnings of 45 cents per share in the third quarter of 2012, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 42 cents. The adjusted earnings exclude cost associated with Skyline Steel buyout and loss on divestiture of the assets of Nucor Wire Products Pennsylvania, Inc.
Profit (as reported) came in at $110.3 million or 35 cents a share, down 39% from $181.5 million or 57 cents per share reported a year ago. The bottom line was hurt by lower operating profits at the company's steel mills, especially in sheet and plate.
Revenues slid 8.6% year over year to $4,801 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,856 million. An 8% fall in average sales price weighed on Nucor's revenues in the quarter. Total tons shipped to outside customers dipped 0.3% year over year to 5.8 million tons in the reported quarter and total mill shipments decreased 1.7% to 5.0 million tons.
The company, which competes with Commercial Metals Co. ( CMC ) and United States Steel Corp. ( X ), maintains a Zacks #3 Rank, which translates into a short-term (1 to 3 months) Hold rating. We currently have a long-term Neutral recommendation on the shares of Nucor.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals DC Horton says job interviews are 'win-win' for all involved
Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton figures to be a fairly hot commodity with regards to head coaching jobs this offseason.
Horton, who interviewed for the St. Louis Rams opening last offseason before the team hired Jeff Fisher, is credited for transforming Arizona's defense from one of the worst units in the league to one of the best.
So it stands to reason at least a few teams with openings will take a look at Horton.
A guest of Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday, Horton said an interview like the one he had with the Rams is valuable for for both sides.
"I think both sides learn something," he said, noting how you learn about the team you're interviewing with while they learn about your philosophies. "I think, probably, it's a win-win for everybody involved.
"They get a little exposure, I get a little exposure, so I think both sides probably should ask poignant questions."

The partnerships are effective immediately, and we hope to produce more than 100,000 devices here in the US in 2013."
